Deleting Objects, thesarfo

When it comes to deleting objects, we have two options. We can delete a single object or multiple objects.

So if you have a collection, you can delete that collection by using the ‘.delete’ method.

def say_hello(request):
    '''deletes a single object'''
    collection = Collection(pk=11)
    collection.delete()
    pass

To delete multiple objects, first we need to get a queryset. For instasnce, lets say we want to delete all objects that have an id greater than 5

Collection.objects.filter(id___gt=5).delete()
# this returns a queryset, and then we can delete the queryset
